"What the hell is written on that letter?"

"I saw it," Zhu Yan was a little disappointed, "It's all hidden words, and I can't guess it." ”

Lu Xiufang's heart calmed down a little, her crying gradually weakened, and she couldn't help but pull Zhu Yan's clothes: "You will never be allowed to be in danger in the future."

Speaking of this, I felt that the following words were a little difficult to speak, and I blushed and stopped saying them.

"I know, I know your intentions," Zhu Yan said busily, eager to hold his sweetheart in his arms and comfort him: "I promise you that I will never do this risky thing again." ”

Qingwan looked at the appearance of you and me, couldn't help but smile slightly, just wanted to quietly hide to the side, suddenly saw Lu Yanyi's little girl, hurried in, ran to Qingwan's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and Qingwan's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong? What happened? Zhu Yan immediately asked sensitively.

Qingwan shook her head lightly and pointed to the inner courtyard: "Let's go inside and say." ”

When the three of them arrived in the inner room, Qing Wan whispered: "Your eldest brother Lu just sent someone from the palace to spread the news, yesterday captured the assassin of Changhongtang, interrogated him all night, but refused to do all the tricks, only said that he intended to steal the palace money, so he sneaked into the inner courtyard. Who is the master of Changhongtang, and who hired them with money, but he will never say. Until dawn, I used several heavy punishments, but I still didn't ask anything. The emperor was tired, so he asked the prince to continue the interrogation, who knew that the Su family learned the news, Su Ge Lao entered the palace early in the morning, and now he pointed the finger at your Zhu Mansion, and the situation became more and more deadlocked. Your brother Lu was going to come back, but now it is difficult to leave, so send me a letter so that I don't have to worry. ”

"What?" Zhu Yan almost jumped up: "You dare to frame us!" ”

"General Zhu Xiao, don't you have that secret letter in your hand? You go to the palace now, and maybe you can help. Qingwan thought about it and said that now she has only this way.

"Yes, yes," Zhu Yan said repeatedly: "Miss Qing, you are right!" Look I'm in a hurry, without further ado! Prepare the horses! ”

Lu Xiufang wanted to say something, but moved her lips and didn't say it.

Qingwan dragged her and sent Zhu Yan out of the door, and advised: "General Zhu, no matter what happens, don't worry, the Su family will not succeed after all." ”

Zhu Yan nodded, snapped the whip, and the horse galloped away, rolling up a puff of dust, and disappeared in an instant.

The two sisters-in-law stood at the door, and did not move until the dust had completely subsided, and they were both worried about their sweethearts, but a carriage stopped at the door, and a lady walked down, and they were awakened.

"Mrs. Zhu! How did you get here? Qingwan was a little surprised, hurriedly bowed, and said.

Lu Xiufang was also busy saluting, but her expression was a little embarrassed that she couldn't hide, but fortunately, the other party's full attention was on Qing Juan: "Miss Qing, do you know the news that Lu Gongzi is in the palace?" ”

"Yes," Qingwan hurriedly replied, "It seems that Madame is in a hurry?" ”

"Naturally!" Mrs. Zhu didn't even enter the door, and stood at the door and whispered: "Then you must also know, why are you stranded in the palace?" ”

"Changhongtang's people entered the palace to assassinate them, they were captured, and they have been interrogated since last night," Qingwan also said in a low voice: "However, I haven't confessed yet!" ”

Mrs. Zhu frowned: "I'm here for this!" Since my lord entered the palace last night, he hasn't come out. The people of the Fang family returned home and said that the two thieves were very hard-mouthed, and they did not recruit them alive or dead. It's not counted, Su Ge Lao entered the palace early in the morning, and the wicked man beat him up, saying that he was involved with our Zhu family! You say, it's not about dying of popularity! The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Yan'er's kid didn't see a shadow for the past few days, and he didn't know where he had gone! asked the people below, and they all breathed out of the same nostril with that kid, and they refused to say! There is such a big event in this palace, and I am the only woman in the family, and there is no one to discuss! It's really like my heart is fried in a hot pan! I remembered you all at once! Lu Gongzi is also in the palace, and only you know the situation, calm down, and can help me come up with ideas! ”

After Mrs. Zhu finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Qingwan with earnest eyes, as if she hoped that she would be able to say something good immediately.

Lu Xiufang's expression became a little nervous.

"Madam, don't worry," Qingwan said calmly: "The assassin has been caught, even if he denies it for a while, he can't rely on it after all." Master Zhu is not comparable to ordinary people, he has experienced many major things, so what's the matter with this little thing? ”

"But I still can't rest assured," Mrs. Zhu paced back and forth anxiously: "This is a big crime of entering the palace and assassinating!" I think about it, it's useless for us to sit at home all the time, but we can't go to the front court. For today's plan, there is only one way, that is, to go to the Middle Palace, beg the queen mother, and ask her to think of a way no matter what if it comes to an important time. Miss Qing, would you like to go with me? ”

"The queen must have known about this, right?" Qingwan knew that with Queen Zhu's ears and eyes, everything must be clear, but from last night to now, there has been no action at all, and there must be her reasons.

"You know, right?" Mrs. Zhu hesitated and said, "No matter what, I can't settle down in my heart, so I have to go to the palace!" ”

"Mrs. Zhu, I wonder if you can also take the people and girls with you?" Lu Xiufang suddenly spoke next to her, and without waiting for an answer, she said again: "My brother is in the inner court, and the folk girl is restless, so I can't rest assured." Please Madame must agree, the people will not cause trouble to Madame. ”

Qingwan turned her head to look at her, her eyes were full of anxiety, brother and Lang Jun, both of them were in danger, no wonder Lu Xiufang would say this.

"Good!" Mrs. Zhu replied very happily: "With multiple companions, my heart is also a little more stable." ”

Speaking of which, Qingwan can't shirk anymore. Although she felt that entering the middle palace and seeing the queen might not be helpful to the affairs of the previous dynasty, she already had an idea in her heart at this moment, so she said: "Please wait a moment, Madame, let's change our clothes and come." ”

"When is it and what are you going to wear?" Mrs. Zhu changed her usual calmness and became very anxious, so she pulled up the two of them and got into the car: "That's good, the queen is not an outsider!" ”

The carriage started moving, and Mrs. Zhu was still chanting: "Yan'er, this kid, if I see her, I have to beat him firmly!" It's been a few days, and I can't find a shadow, and I can't count on him with such a big thing at home! ”

Qingwan and the two knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say a word.

After getting out of the carriage, as a few times before, the little inner eunuch entered the middle palace with him, and the round fan greeted him, but his expression was not as happy as before, as if he knew everything, just made a gesture, and took a few people to the inner hall.

Empress Zhu was sitting in front of the bookcase writing, and when she heard them coming, she put down her pen and smiled slightly: "Why did you arrive at this time?" Round fan, give a seat, look at tea. ”

"Niangniang knows that the concubine is coming?" Mrs. Zhu asked a little surprised.

"Brother and Lu Gongzi are here, how can you not be in a hurry?" Empress Zhu's tone seemed to have insight into everything: "Yan'er is coming again, and my sister-in-law will definitely be even more unable to sit still." ”

"Yan'er is here too?" Mrs. Zhu was so shocked that she almost jumped up: "Where is this kid?" ”

"Madam, don't worry," Yuan Fan said with a busy smile, "General Zhu Xiao is also in the front court." I just called someone to inquire, and it was safe. ”

Mrs. Zhu wanted to ask again, but after listening to these four words, she knew that she couldn't say it deeply, so she hurriedly stopped: "Then the concubine will rest assured." ”

Having said that, the anxiety and incomprehension in those eyes could not be concealed.

Empress Zhu smiled clearly: "Emperor Shengming, nothing can escape the judgment of heaven." It just so happened that you guys came, and yesterday the palace said that they wanted to make a jade pendant sleeve for the prince himself, so they couldn't decide what materials to use, so they came to help the staff officers. ”

The round fan agreed, went in and came out with a large chrysanthemum crystal plate, with all kinds of bright yellow materials on it, how could Mrs. Zhu have the heart to look at this at this time? But he had no choice but to step forward.

Qingwan looked at the queen's casual appearance, and couldn't help but admire this open-mindedness that had been soaked in the palace for many years and refined. I put my mind down for the time being and discussed it with the queen.

The other two were preoccupied and didn't intervene much, and just when the material was about to be chosen, a small inner supervisor suddenly came in: "Say hello to the queen." ”

"Well, get up. What's the matter? Empress Zhu didn't raise her eyelids and asked.

"Back to Niangniang, Su Mo has been imprisoned!"

The queen seemed to hear an irrelevant little thing: "Got it." ”

The other three were surprised, and Mrs. Zhu said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Where is my lord now? ”

The little inner eunuch glanced at the queen, and saw that the queen had nothing to say, so he dared to say: "Mrs. Hui, those two thieves, refused to confess, and then Master Su went, and the spearheads of the piles and piles were pointed at Lord Zhu, and when he was stalemate, fortunately General Zhu Xiao arrived and took out a letter, but the letter was full of hidden words, and no one could understand it, and because Lu Gongzi was there, he recognized the words on it and translated them one by one. Madame, what are you doing? Tsk, it turned out to be Changhongtang's letter to Su Mo! said that he took over the assassination work in the palace, and asked Su Mo to deliver the silver on time. There is also the name of the master of Changhong Hall on it! Now the evidence is clear, Su Ge Lao has nothing to say! At that time, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for sin, and the old tears were in full swing, and the slave had never seen it! Su Ge Lao has always been so majestic, and now it can be regarded as a shame! ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she immediately sneered: "Look at how long you have been rampant!" The Su family can be regarded as proud, it was seamless to cover it up, and there will be a day when the incident happens! Assassinating the emperor, this is a big crime to destroy the nine clans! Why, didn't the emperor say anything else? ”
